Matthew Golden WR | GB
Packers' Matthew Golden: Back in action Sunday
Golden (shoulder) is listed as active Sunday at the Giants.
Golden thus will miss just one game due to the shoulder injury that sidelined him during a Week 10 loss to the Eagles. It should be noted that the rookie first-round pick was listed as limited on all three Week 11 practice reports, and veteran WRs Romeo Doubs, Christian Watson and Dontayvion Wicks all entered the weekend without designations. As a result, Golden may not be available for his typical workload, which so far has ranged from 48 to 73 percent of the offensive snaps while averaging 3.7 targets per game in his seven healthy appearances this season.

Drake London WR | ATL
Falcons' Drake London: Active in Week 11
London (illness/back) is listed as active Sunday against the Panthers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
London sat out Wednesday's practice due to an illness, and while he took part on a limited basis Thursday and Friday, a back issue was tacked on to the injury report after the first of those two sessions. A questionable designation ensued for the fourth-year pro, but Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Saturday evening that London was aiming to play Sunday, which now has been confirmed. After topping out at 55 yards receiving in a game through the first three contests of the campaign, London has been as reliable as any wide receiver in the NFL, accruing a 37-532-6 line on 58 targets over his last five appearances.

Keon Coleman WR | BUF
Bills' Keon Coleman: Expected to be healthy scratch
The Bills are expected to make Coleman a healthy inactive for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, according to NFL reporter Jordan Schultz.
Buffalo's decision to elevate Gabe Davis from the practice squad and sign Mecole Hardman to the 53-man roster Saturday were indicators that the team was planning on shaking up its receiver personnel for Week 11, and Coleman looks like he'll be one of the odd men out. According to Schultz, Coleman's impending demotion isn't based on his performance, though the second-year wideout's underwhelming production in recent weeks -- as well as the return of Joshua Palmer from a three-game absence -- probably didn't help his case for retaining a regular role on offense. Since a standout Week 1 outing in which he recorded an 8-112-1 receiving line on 11 targets in a win over the Ravens, Coleman has averaged 3.0 catches, 27.3 yards and 4.8 targets over the Bills' subsequent eight contests.

Travis Hunter WR | JAC
Jaguars' Travis Hunter: Set to remain two-way player in '26
The Jaguars plan to continue utilizing Hunter (knee) as their top wide receiver and as a matchup cornerback in 2026, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Before hurting his right knee in an Oct. 30 practice and undergoing season-ending surgery Tuesday to address an isolated ICL injury, Hunter compiled 28 receptions for 298 yards and a touchdown on 45 targets to go with 15 tackles and three passes defensed over the Jaguars' first seven games of his rookie campaign. According to Rapoport, the Jaguars had been preparing for Hunter to handle a heightened role on both sides of the ball in the second half after he delivered his best all-around outing of the season in a loss to the Rams in Week 7, when he excelled in coverage against Davante Adams while finishing with eight catches for 101 yards and a score on offense. Altogether, Hunter played 323 snaps on offense and 158 on defense, and while the ratio may not change in 2026, his overall weekly volume of playing time on both sides of the ball is expected to increase. Because Hunter's knee injury included no damage to other ligaments, he's expected to face a relatively seamless six-month recovery period that should have him back to 100 percent well in advance of training camp.

D'Wayne Eskridge WR | MIA
Dolphins' Dee Eskridge: Not playing in Week 11
Eskridge (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Commanders in Madrid.
Eskridge will sit out a second straight game after he was limited in practice throughout Week 11 prep due to the shoulder issue. With Eskridge sidelined, the Dolphins will keep Cedrick Wilson and Tahj Washington active as depth wideouts behind Jaylen Waddle, Malik Washington and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine.

Quentin Johnston WR | LAC
Chargers' Quentin Johnston: Seems likely to suit up Sunday
Johnston (shin), who is questionable for Sunday's game against Jacksonville, appears likely to play after practicing fully Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Though players who end the week with a full practice session typically end up playing in the subsequent game, Johnston's status won't be officially clarified until the Chargers release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. If he does suit up, Johnston will likely take on his usual key role in the Chargers' wideout corps alongside Ladd McConkey and Keenan Allen.

Brian Thomas Jr. WR | JAC
Jaguars' Brian Thomas: Unlikely to play Sunday
Thomas (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, is not expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Thomas logged a trio of limited practices this week as he tries to return from the ankle injury he suffered in a Week 9 win over Las Vegas. Despite the step forward in practice activity from the week before, Thomas still looks poised to miss a second straight contest to give his ankle more time to heal. Assuming Thomas is inactive, Parker Washington and Jakobi Meyers are likely to work as the Jaguars' top two wideouts, with Dyami Brown slated for the No. 3 role. Thomas' ability to practice three times in limited fashion this week suggests that he has at least a decent chance of returning in Week 12 versus Arizona on Nov. 23.

Davante Adams WR | LAR
Rams' Davante Adams: Expected to play Sunday
Adams, who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Seattle due to an oblique injury, is likely to suit up, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The report seems to confirm Rams head coach Sean McVay's acknowledgement from Friday, when he relayed that he expected Adams to play. The veteran wideout missed practice Wednesday but was able to log limited sessions Thursday and Friday, suggesting that his oblique issue isn't debilitating. If Adams does indeed participate in the big NFC West clash, he'll look to extend a three-game streak of getting into the end zone.

Drake London WR | ATL
Falcons' Drake London: In line to play Sunday
London (illness/back), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Carolina, plans to suit up, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
London sat out the Falcons' first practice of the week before advancing to limited participation Thursday and Friday. The star wideout apparently feels well enough to try to play Sunday, though he may not be 100 percent while he manages both an illness and a back issue. London's availability -- if he does indeed play -- is a big deal for Atlanta's passing game, as he's exceeded 100 receiving yards in four of the past five games in which he's taken the field.

Calvin Ridley WR | TEN
Titans' Calvin Ridley: Expected to return Sunday
Ridley (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup versus Houston, is likely to play, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Ridley missed each of Tennessee's past three games while dealing with an injured hamstring. He was able to log a trio of limited practices Wednesday through Friday following Tennessee's Week 10 bye, and the veteran wideout now seems ready to return to game action. If Ridley does indeed suit up Sunday, Elic Ayomanor, Chimere Dike and the other members of the Titans' wideout corps could each take a step down in the team's pass-catching pecking order.
